距離最后的考試只有近兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間,最后的沖刺序幕正式拉開。英語復(fù)習(xí)到這個(gè)階段,最重要的就是作文。要想在最后的考試成績中脫穎而出,現(xiàn)階段就必須要把精力放在分值占在30分的寫作上。
考研英語中大作文的要求是內(nèi)容切題、表達(dá)清楚、文字連貫、句式多變和語言規(guī)范。小作文考察點(diǎn)在信息點(diǎn)的覆蓋、語言的準(zhǔn)確性、文章組織的連貫性上。
其中小作文占10分,分為求職信、祝賀信、道歉信、詢問信、推薦信、感謝信、邀請信、辭職信等等二十多種應(yīng)用文。每個(gè)類別都有相對固定的語言模式,都有固定詞語要求。
申請信主要用于申請獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金、求學(xué)、申請出國簽證等,這些申請往往通過申請信來請求。
寫作“三步走”:
申請的具體內(nèi)容和緣由→自己的情況和條件→提出要求,如回信、面試等等。
注意:
第一,語氣要誠摯友好千萬不要表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)求的意思;第二,對于申請的內(nèi)容和原因一定要寫得非常清楚;第三,盡管不能表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)求的意思,但是期望得到的心情一定要表達(dá)出來。
